a5c7b9f00b Based on the original comic strip Boondocks, Two young brothers (Huey and Riley) move away from their birth city to live with their irascible grandfather out in the suburbs. With one brother being socially and politically motivated and the younger brother a stereotypical black youth who likes rap music and culture etc Biting socio-political commentary ensues when they meet a whole cast of crazy exaggerated characters set in a mainly white middle upper class neighbourhood.

It's OK. Not horrible, not the next best thing since sliced bread but OK.<br/><br/>It did come off a bit preachy and deep in the left wing, both of which I didn't really like. It's not too bad though.<br/><br/>Most of the episodes where relatively well defined and unlike pretty much every other series out there, they do have a sense of continuity.<br/><br/>As for the characters, well that's a mixed bag. The main character Huey is a brainchild with a typical pessimistic personality, while his younger brother Riley is an aspiring rapper/gangsta. All in all, Riley is the more normal brother of the two. Their grandpa, Grandpa, is someone who will beat the living crap out of you for looking at him the wrong way. And everybody else is either naive, stupid or evil. The characters kicked ass.<br/><br/>Sometimes the over-the-topness really was a let down considering the serious overtones in this series. I'd still recommend that it be seen though. 3/5
I had been a fan of Aaron McGruder's comic strip "The Boondocks" since its debut. The strip drew controversy because of the way it deals with current events suchthe Bush Administration, the war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, to name a few. It also takes great jabs at racial stereotyping of many cultures. Some newspapers put the strip in the editorial section instead of the comics due to its subject matter. "The Boondocks" now makes the leap from the funny pages to television via the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line-up. After viewing the first episode, it's safe to say there are quite a few changes that have been made from the strip. It is a little more on the vulgar side than its print counterpart. The strip and show deal with the same cast of characters: Huey Freeman (voiced by Regina King) and his younger brother Riley (also voiced by King) are two young boys from the South Side of Chicago who go to live with their grandfather Richard (the always hilarious John Witherspoon) in the suburbs. Being thrown into an environment of mixed races doesn't exactly set well with the boys: Huey is a militant-type who wants to shake up the Establishment while Riley is a gangsta-wannabe. Both drive Grandpa up the wall with their antics. The show's first episode, entitled "Garden Party", allows each character to jell into their roles. As the show starts, Huey tells the audience about a dream he has where he tells whites at a garden party that "Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the Devil and the government is lying about 9-11. Thank you." These comments send "Whitey" into a panic. However, when he makes the same comments in at a real garden party, he's only commended for being an articulate speaker, much to Huey's chagrin. Riley, meanwhile, meets an Iraq War veteran and is only interested in shooting one of his guns.<br/><br/>Also at the party is a black valet car parker who is intent on keeping the Freemans out because "there ain't no room for no mo' n––-!" This scene made me feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe that was the effect that McGruder was going for, maybe not. I just felt that this bit of vulgarity wasn't necessary. The show could have made its point in the same manner that the comic strip does without crossing that shock value line. Still, I think that the show will strike nerves with viewers. Both good and bad. I think I'm a fan of the show,longit doesn't push the envelope so hard that it rips.

"The Boondocks Theme" by <a href="/name/nm2182707/">Asheru</a>. <a href="/name/nm1412298/">Aaron McGruder</a> decided to discontinue the daily comic strip in order to focus on the show. McGruder said in an interview: "I wanted to hang on to both, but ultimately I made the decision that the show could not be sacrificed. Once I decided that, it was an easy decision, even if it cost me. I didn't want to do the strip badly and the show badly." He has not ruled out reviving the strip once the show has run its course.<br/><br/>Source:http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/tv/la-ca-boondocks30sep30,1,4034796.story?coll=la-entnews-tv Tom's name appears to be a reference to the tragic African-American slave in <a href="/name/nm0832952/">Harriet Beecher Stowe</a>'s anti-slavery novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" (1853). Due to his spiritual beliefs, Uncle Tom was very loyal to his masters despite suffering horrible abuse. Although the novel portrayed African-Americans in a positive light and was partly responsible for the ending of American slavery, subsequent stage and film adaptations changed Uncle Tom into a weak-minded, docile, happy slave. This stereotype endured through the 20th century. The name "Uncle Tom" became an insult to African-Americans who are accused of being subservient to Whites. However, Tom's last name, Dubois, comes from W.E.B. Dubois, a black philosopher and one of the founders of the NAACP; Dubois theorized that African Americans would be elevated in the eyes of the rest of society by the "talented tenth," the ten most intellectually astute percent of all African Americans. Thus, a conflicting dichotomy is created between the character of Tom and the origins of his first and last names.<br/><br/>Uncle Ruckus's name and appearance appear to be a reference to Uncle Remus, the narrator from <a href="/name/nm0364873/">Joel Chandler Harris</a>'s series of folktales (1880-1905). Remus was a kindly, elderly slave who enjoys telling whimsical, educational stories to White children. Ruckus's love of White children in "A Huey Freeman Christmas" also is a reference though his hatred of African-Americans is not a characteristic of Remus. Like Uncle Tom, Uncle Remus became controversial in the 20th centurymany felt the character perpetuated the stereotype of the happy slave. A film adaptation, <a href="/title/tt0038969/">Song of the South (1946)</a> (1946), was very popular at the time but has not been released on home video or DVD in the US. Many consider Ruckus to be a parody of controversial writer <a href="/name/nm0189459/">Stanley Crouch</a> with whom he shares a passing resemblance. Crouch is controversial for his belligerence, his criticism of several African-American intellectuals, and his frequent use of the word "Negro" which is considered derogatory. In episode #14 of the 3rd season, he cries to his estranged father, Mister Ruckus, "I hate you! You the reason why, after I say the name 'Ruckus,' I always say, "No relation." I am adopted! I am adopted!"
